Goodreads asked Yolanda M. Johnson-Bryant:

How do you get inspired to write?

Yolanda M. Johnson-Bryant Since I can remember I've had a love affair with words. When I was a little girl, I journaled when I could, and when I could find a place to hide it so my mother wouldn't find it. In high school, I loved English, writing papers and the such, and was a writer for a band that I belonged to. I can't remember a time when I didn't like to write. When people started telling me I was good at it, my confidence soared and I stepped out of my comfort zone and wrote more.

Now? Anything can spark my writing inspiration. Something can happen in my life and it will inspire me to write. I like to people watch and that in itself comes with enough material to keep me busy for a life time.

My mind is always going a mile a minute so ideas actually do pop into my head out of nowhere. Many of them, I think God places there. Some, I know he does not.
